I often consult vital signs (usually leading up to the monthly metrics meeting) to see how our traffic is doing. I'm always hoping it is bouncing back up and it's something that could be presented at the metrics meeting. I wish Vital Signs had monthly pageview data. I know I can use the smoothing function... but I'm looking for a quick lookup of a number I can report back: e.g. last month we had 15 billion pageviews. The reading team is running hive queries to get this and it's one of their KPIs it:

Anyway, I think the ideal would be to have druid + a visualization package instead of vital signs and then I could filter for exactly what I want, and I wouldn't have to ask if includes bots ;-)
